Welcome to the Canada Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APGCAN)

Rooted in a strong tradition of professional excellence, APGCAN grew out of the Ontario Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists (OCAPG), which was founded in 1998 to provide a networking forum for APG members across Ontario. Today, our chapter proudly serves professional genealogists across Canada, upholding the objectives of APG and advancing professional standards in genealogical research and writing.
